Vettaikaran: A typical Vijay masala.!!
Babu sivan's debut movie as director 'Vettaikaran' with Ilaya Dalapathy Vijay in lead is a typical Vijay masala. The film has nothing new to offer, but it wont let you bored. Vijay fans can rejoice, because he is back with bang to his usual style and the film is far better than Villu and Kuruvi.
Ravi aka Police Ravi (Vijay) from Tuticorn is an IPS aspirant and a great fan of encounter specialist Devaraj (Sreehari). This time Ravi passes his plus two exams in fourth attempt and moves to chennai to join degree. He follows the same way of Devaraj and takes a part time job of auto driver to make means for his studies.
In Chennai he meets heroine Suseela(Anushka) and fall in love with her. During his life in the city, he was forced to face baddies like Chella, police officer Kattabomman (sayaji shinde) etc. Kattabomman traps him in a case and Ravi escapes an encounter attempt. After that he comes to know about the present condition of Devaraj IPS and join hands with him to fight against Chella and his father/big boss Vedanayakam. The hunt begins here...
We can relate this story to many other tamil masala entertainers but Vijay show will make you watch this film one time.
Eventhough there is no notable punch dialogue, some were good.
Babu sivan has somehow managed to make this a watchable flick with some comedy, fight and song sequences which we expect from a Vijay movie. But he was innovative enough to present it with variety. The film lacks a commentable twist, which would have made it more interesting.
Music by Vijay Antony was OK. 'Naan adichaa' song was good, but picturisation is not colourful. Also, Sanjay(Vijay's son) made a noticable special appearance in this song. Other songs like 'Chinnathamarai' and 'karigaalan' were not bad. These songs are really "colourful" with Anushka's presence!
Actingwise, Vijay has nothing new to present, only typical Vijay performance which we had seen in Pokkiri, Kuruvi etc.
Anushka has nothing to do in the story development, but she is present in the film with glamourous performance in song sequences.
Other actors like Sreehari, Sayaji Shinde, Haneefa, Sukumari etc did there parts well.
Totally, Vettaikaran is a watchable mass masala for viewers who can enjoy Vijay style of movies..!!
My rating: 3/5
